The FINAL proposal : Already presented and posted
The book is manual called: Tuturing Turing: Selection
Owner: Zarin and Pearl
We have tweeked it a bit after some mistakes Mr. Arkin found in the proposal, so here is the FINAL proposal posted:
Tutoring Turing: Selection is a manual written for students who want to learn about selection in Turing. The manual consists of carefully written out steps to succeed in this area of programming. With simple yet detailed explanations, it will guide the reader through all aspects of selection in Turing. It includes real life examples and mini quizzes at the end of a new concept. Also, the manual has a practice test at the end and a glossary to further ensure the student understands. Of course, there will be an answer guide at the back in case the student cannot answer a question. Moreover, the manual has a set of possible error messages that might appear when using selection in Turing and suggestions for error solutions. As a conclusion, this manual is part of a series of books called Tutoring Turing.
We are writing a manual, similar to those in the Topic for Dummies series. It will be published digitally, and include a CD-ROM that consists of exercises, examples and a digital version of this manual.
We have created a Wiki so communication and planning will be easier. However, it is private; that is, only members are allowed view it.
Responsibilities of each member can be found on the Schedule page on our CA Wiki. Some tasks are still being assigned. No official deadlines have been set, but each small component have deadlines no later January 15th, 2011.
Here is a brief list of each member’s responsibilities:
Lisa:
Table of Contents
Complete lesson for if statements
Pearl:

About the Authors
Official proposal (collaboration with Pearl)
Zarin:
Complete lesson for case statements

1. Please add what you would like to see in the proposal. Deadline: Jan. 05
Owner: EVERYONE
writing a short manual/book
Teaching the concept: Selection
teaches in an interactive way: characters to introduce concepts, small pockets with information, includes real-life examples
make the writing simple and easy to understand
CD at the back for audio aid
Maybe the CD can have example programs? Like say we give them little actitives like parts of a code they have to finsih. We haveeven set up one of those assignment pagesmr. arkin set up forus.
practice tests
part of a book series called, "Tutoring Turing"
exercises along the way
make references to other books of the series along the way
Easy and simple language for clearer understanding
Glossary (for important vocabulary or key word, key symbol etc.)
Error messages that might show up when using selection (?)
